Excellent location, large property with great views and nice swimming pool. Please disregard the negative comment about toilet roll on the review by 'Birznieksm Austria' as this is common practice throughout Madeira due to the nature of their waste water systems and processing.

The location was excellent and we loved the closeness to the village and the sea! The house was comfy and had all we needed for our 3 day stay. Sea views were also a grat bonus :)

We spent here only 1 night, restaurant was great, we didnt have time for pool, but surely its refreshing. We were leaving early in the morning and staff made us a breakfast to go, thank you very much :)

Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay! We visited almost all costal villages in Madera, and Porto da Cruz is by far our favourite!!!! We love this place and keep coming back here! :) Also, the is the best restaurant ever, A Pipa!

A small but very cozy town.
A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.
Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices.
Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks.
Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...
Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

It's a small town, beach not usable, outdoor pool in bad conditions, room not clean (shower and floor ) two places for hiking: one is dangerous, one is steap and boring, no view
Everything is damp, not much sun
Hotel Vila Bela is in Porto da Cruz which is a mesmerizing little town next to the ocean. When I close my eyes I can still see the thrilling view from the balcony of the room and I can hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks. Rooms were cleaned every day and it was good to arrive back to a tidy room after the exhausting hikings.
The breakfast was generous and filling. The hotel has a restaurant by the ocean and drinking your morning coffee within a reach from the waves is priceless.
The view from the house is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed watching the sea and the surfers. The house is a 20-minute-walk from the small town Porto da Cruz (where you can find a couple of restaurants and a tiny super market that has the basic things you will need). The showers are great. The woman who checked us in was super friendly as well. Even though we had an unpleasant encounter with her boss, I would still recommend. The owner may be inexperienced with subletting the house?
The apartment was very comfy, it has everything the family of 2, 3 or 4 may need plus the view! The host Guadalupe was very nice :) The garrage was a real asset once you get use to parking in it. But once you do, you may as well consider yourself a local in Madeira :) We spent a week in Feb 2022 and we loved everything about it. Very private and very Madrean. You cant compare it to a hotel because it feels like home. We can recommend it to anybody. And Porto da Cruz is the best!
Newly renovated hostel/hotel type of accommodation. If you want to have a private holiday you can, if you want to interact with other guests in the shared areas you can as well. There is a nice lounging spot on the roof and in the downstairs kitchen/living room area. Check-in was very easy with a self-service lockbox outside. Rooms are simple and clean and have a lovely view on the 1st floor of a local church. Short walk to the beach areas and hiking trails.
Very nice place to meet other travelers! The vibe was very good, everybody was open to talking and hanging out. But it was quiet in the evenings (from 23h I would say) so you can also find some rest if you need to.
Porto da Cruz is beautiful, the hostel has a great location next to a little restaurant and bakery and the swimming pool was basically around the corner.
Also, the staff is very nice! They organized a burger night!
Cute small hotel with an amazing view. Most of the rooms have balcony and Seaview. It's very close to the sea, one can hear the sound the waves. Staff was friendly. Room was fair, not too modern but clean. Restaurant was at ground floor. Breakfast and dinner were good. Staff was friendly. There are surf schools nearby and some nice walks. The view is really one of the nicest we had in maderia.
The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles!
The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.
We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.
We really loved our stay in Porto da Cruz in Guadalupes apartment. The apartment is everything we expected. The kitchen is well equipped, it is clean and lovely decorated. The location is also great. It is close to a small supermarket, the bus stop, and the beach. You can even reach some hikes by foot. I would recommend to hike along the north coast towards canical.
The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.
Mateus house is a great accommodation in Porto da Cruz. The host is very friendly and responsive. The interior is nice, modern and complete - everything relevant is available. The house is spacious (two floors) and in addition offers a large terrace on the top. The location in the heart of Porto da Cruz is wonderful.
The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.
We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
All the staff in hotel and restaurant were charming and efficient. Great location with sea views and balcony with chairs and table. Small intimate hotel making you feel very welcome. Superb value for money. Great food and wine.
No breakfast. Very convenient to Porto da Cruz shore, restaurants and walking paths. The owners were very quick to respond to our needs and any issues with the lodging. Secure parking for our rental car.
The hotel had beach access, and it was beautiful. It was easy to drive around the island with a launch point of Porto da Cruz. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was quiet.
